Kids' English Festival

Today was the kids' festival! We had 40 children perform songs, games and plays, and over 100 parents and grandparents watching! The proceedings were opened by Nicola's Wednesday class and then they were joined by two of her Saturday classes to sing "Five Little Monkeys".

Next was Susan's class demonstrating their ABCs and then Careen and Hiroko's class presented Bill Martin's "Brown Bear".

Next Ryan's class did a skit based on the story of the Candadian who exchanged his way from a red paper clip to a house.

Then Nicola's Elementary 2 class told the Story of Momotaro using Kamishibai story boards.

Kazuko's class treated us to a quiz and many audience members answered questions about famous stories.

Careen played a Chinese Whispers game (伝言ゲーム) with her Elemetary 4 class.

Next were two plays, the first called "Lion and the Little Mice" by Ryan's class and "A Bullying Bear" by Yasuko's class of Elemetary 5th years.

After a little break while everyone could eat their snacks made by Hiroko, we all played a giant game of "What's the time, Mr. Wolf?".
